ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The mandatory arbitration agreement eliminates court access for most disputes, while preserving exclusive court jurisdiction for an unspecified but enumerated set of claim categories.

Interpretive note: The excerpt is truncated after 'the following', so the enumerated exceptions to arbitration are not visible and cannot be characterized. The scope of the court carve-out is therefore uncertain.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The reader must resolve disputes with Samsung through binding individual arbitration, unless the dispute falls within the specified categories over which a court of competent jurisdiction has exclusive jurisdiction.
